We are building a new home. The Great Room has Cathedral ceilings and large windows that overlook a forest and ravine. We have purchased a rectangular propane fireplace. The dimensions are 29" high and 38" wide and it has a 4" Brushed nickel trim on all four sides for a finished product that is 37" high and 46" wide. Our decor is transitional and I want to highlight the view of the outdoors. Do we go with a stone fireplace with a rustic beam for a shelf or a traditional mantle painted out to compliment our decor, with a surround of granite or porcelain? How do we handle the height of the room? Stone that goes right to the top would be too overpowering I think.
